Abstract

At this time, sensor developers rely on their own circuit board designs to test new sensors. This means a lot of time and money is spent on designing the custom interface for every newly designed sensor. This report describes a way to have a configurable test bench for sensors. The system consists of a data acquisition unit and multiple circuit boards to be able to have a certain level of reconfigurability for the used pins. This system is also able to generate simple signals. It is therefore a replacement for certain instruments as well. The test bench has 9 configurable pins and a number of external connections. It is simple to use and can do its job automatically. This report focuses on the hardware part, where all the switching and amplification is done. We recommend to use the system on a trial basis, because it is not completely functional yet.
